v2.3
-Weapon triangle bonus icons now move.
-Added in terrain! You can use the Terrain Value sliders to adjust the terrain.
-Terrain Bonuses have been added to the battle formula.

-Added Thunder animations.
-Fixed problem with having over a certain amount of hp which caused the hp bar to go off the screen which caused a variety of graphical glitches.

v2.6
-Added Lightning, which is a Light Magic spell, thus it is ineffective against Anima (Fire, Thunder) Magic and effective against Dark Magic (yet to be added.)

v2.7
-Added Flux the first tier dark magic spell, which is strong against Anima magic but weak against Light magic.
-Changed the critical sound effect.
-Fixed double hits once again.

v3
-Added status screens to view the stats of the enemy and the player. I also removed the sliders and made it less confusing to change stats by going to the the status screen of the enemy or the player and then changing the stats there with a button.

v3.1
-Added Lord (Hector) animations to the player side.
-Added Lord (Eliwood) animations to the player side.

-Added arrows at the top of the status menu to switch between sections.
-Added an item screen to the status menu. You can see what weapon the enemy or player is using here and change it with buttons
-Added reaver weapons. Reaver weapons reverse the weapon triangle, thus an Lancereaver, a sword which would usually be bad against a lance, is effective against a lance instead, while it is weak agaisnt axes instead of being strong agaisnt them.

v3.21
-Added Monk animations

v3.22
-Added Shaman animations

v3.23
-Added Myrmidon Animations

v3.25

-Killer Axe, axe with a high crit rate
-Killer Lance, lance with high crit rate

v3.3
-Added the ability to set the amount of space between you and your enemy. If there is one space between the units, then melee weapons like swords, axes, and lances will not be able to hit the opposing unit, while ranged weapons like magic and bows, will still be able to.
-Added archer animations.
-Added bows. Bows are not included in any weapon triangle and they are special as they are physical, can be used to hit an enemy from one space away, but cannot hit an enemy that is right next to the user.
Bows Added:
-Iron Bow
-Steel Bow
-Killer Bow

v3.35
-Added five new weapons:
  -Elfire: A more powerful fire tome.
  -Silver Sword
  -Silver Axe
  -Silver Lance
  -Silver Bow
-Hopefully fixed the bug with the archer attacking one more time after the player dies.

v4
-Added item system! You can have up to 5 items in your inventory. Currently you can only change the weapon in the 1st inventory slot though.
-Finally made it so that certain classes can only use certain weapons! Now you can't have stuff like mages using swords or brigands using magic.
-Equipment setting system added! The weapon of the enemy and the player will automatically be set to the top most usuable weapon. If there are no usuable weapons, the unit cannot fight and is defenseless. There is a E symbol in the status screen showing which weapon is currently equipped.

Update: v4.5
-Major update.

-Altered battling to be more accurate to actual Fire Emblem! There are two phases, Player and Enemy. On the Player phase, the player attacks first, while on the enemy phase the enemy attacks first. Battles are no longer continuous and there are pauses between each phase. This also fixed double attacks as it was a bit bugged beforehand.

-Improved item system! There are now buttons next to each item in the status screen for the player and enemy. Clicking on them gives two options: Equip and Discard. Equip is self-explanatory, allowing one to equip an item. However, if the unit cannot use the item, the option will be greyed out. Discard gets rid of the item, but don't do this too much as there is no way to get back any items in the current version.
Additionally, uses have been added to each item. Every single time a weapon is used, it's use value goes down by 1. When this hits 0, the weapon will be permanently destroyed.

-Effectiveness bonus added! When weapons are used against certain units, some will be more effective than normal weapons. This grants a massive boost in power. You can see if a weapon is effective if it glows white during a battle sequence. One example of a effectiveness are that Swordslayers are effective against Myrmidons.

-Title screen added with music and glowing start button, because why not? (This also made me get rid of all the green flag starts code, which will be useful in the future)

-In lieu with the battle system changes, I've made it so that the project can load up partially filled hp bars.

-Thief unit added. They can use swords.

Update: v4.6
-Added a whole variety of weapons to furthur show off the changes I made in my last update:
-Effective against armor units:
-Armourslayer
-Hammer
-Heavy Lance
-Effective against horseriding units:
-Longsword
-Halberd
-Horseslayer
-Brave weapons, which double the amount of hits a unit can do, leading to a max of 4 hits in one turn:
-Brave Sword
-Brave Axe
-Brave Lance
-Brave Bow

-Fixed a variety of Hp bar bugs when the enemy/player had less than 31 max hp.

Update: v4.61
-Added Shine as a weapon, a medium-tier Light magic spell.
-Added Slim weapons, weapons with high accuracy and less weight but low might.
-Slim Sword
-Slim Lance

Update: v4.62
-Added a new Anima Magic Tome, Fimbuletvr. It is a high-ranked spell that summons a tornado before freezing the opponent.
-Readded the + and - buttons to the weapon status screen so you can actually change weapons. This however, like the Change Stats button will not be permanent and is only for testing purposes.

Update: v4.7
-Changed it so that you can only click on the item buttons if it is the corresponding unit's phase. (You can currently still change the weapon using the temporary + and - buttons)

-Added item system. When clicking on an item in a menu, the Equip button will instead be a use button. You can then use the item by pressing use. This, however, will skip the current phase and move on to the next one.

-Added two healing items:
-Vulnerary: Heals 10 HP.
-Elixir: Heals full HP.

-Backgrounds will now change depending on the terrain the unit being attacked is standing on.

Update: v4.8
-Added hit and critical effects, now there's even more awesome flashiness!
-Added in support for ranged axe and lance weapons. This means some new ranged effects, hit, and crit animations. Unfortunatly this only applies to enemies for now as some of the player unit code is outdated and will take some time to bring up to the enemy unit's code.

-Handaxe
-Javelin
-Short Spear
-Spear

Update: v4.81
-Added in a new enemy unit: Pirates. They wield axes and are similar to the brigand unit.

Update: v4.82
-Added in a new enemy unit: Nomads, horseriding units that use bows.
-You can now change the enemy and player unit through the status menu (finally!). Click the + and - Buttons below the class variable to change the unit.

-Added in a new weapon: Aura, a high level Light magic tome.

-Fixed hp bug with enemy having less than 31 max hp and not having full hp.

Update: v4.97
-Players will now gain EXP after battles. A exp bar will appear after a sequence of hits and will show the player unit gaining exp. If it hits 100 exp, the player unit will level up and the exp will go back down to 0. You will gain more exp for killing enemies than just damaging them. Leveling up currently doesn't increase stats but that will be added in a future update.

Update: v4.99
-LEVEL UP SYSTEM FULLY IMPLEMENTED. Units will now gain stats in a semi-random way dependent on each unit's growth rates when they level up. Comes even with a fancy statup screen and effect.

Update: v5.00
First, the minor stuff:
-Added a new enemy unit, the Soldier. Soldiers are generally weak enemy units that have high strength but extremely low skill and speed. They use lances.
-When you level up, a number showing how much a stat has gone up will now show.
-The unit changing + and - buttons are now arrows, and play a sound when changing a unit.
-Player units can no longer go past level 20.
-A popup message will now show up telling you if a weapon has broken.
-You can now hold h while clicking on weapons in order to see a description of it with its stats.

And now the major updates:
-Player units are now completely seperate from each other! This means that every single player unit has different stats, different inventories, and different levels and exp values!
-WEAPON RANKS HAVE FINALLY BEEN IMPLEMENTED.
(for player units) Player units can no longer use certain weapons if they don't have a high enough weapon level. For example, a Tomahawk has a requirement of at least an "A" Weapon Level in Axes. If you have B, D, C, or E, you cannot use this weapon.
-In order to alleviate this, weapon exp has now been implemented! Each time a player unit uses a certain weapon in battle, they accumulate weapon EXP in that category of weapon. When it has accumulated enough weapon EXP, a message will show saying that the weapon level has increased for that particular weapon type. As weapon levels go up, it will take more EXP and thus time to reach the next weapon level.

Update: v5.1
-Skill System implemented! See what skills a unit has on the third page of the status screen.
-There are two types of skills, passive and active. Passive skills will always affect your unit no matter what happens, while active skills need a set of circumstances to be true to activate. Active skills will only activate during a fight and will have a special animation and a popup declaring that the skill was activated.

Critical +5 - Increases crt by 5

Haha, that would be Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

Anyways quick status report, I'm currently in the middle of implementing "ranged" or throwing melee weapons such as handaxes and javelins.
It's going to take some time though as I have to animate new sprites for every single unit that uses either an axe or a lance.
I estimate that it'll probably go up sometime tomorrow.

Wow, I have no idea how you have that much spare time.    Anyays, good luck, and I hope you manage to get more views!

Haha the thing is that I actually really don't. 
It's just that I spend a large majority of my spare time working on this.

Update: v4.81
-Added in a new enemy unit: Pirates. They wield axes and are similar to the brigand unit.
-Player unit code has been brought up to the same level as enemy units, allowing multiple sprites and now supports the addition of magic units, bow units, and ranged weapons. This is only really apparent with hector using a hand axe in the current version.

EDIT:
On another note, the current project size is 9980 kb, literally 20 kb from the limit, so I need to figure out some ways to cut down the size.

Unfortunately, I had to both remove the music and compress the images a bit in order to upload it without having it above the 10 mb project limit.
